Player's Pub & Grub — Restaurant in Alpena

Local dive with the classics, and an Asian twist once or twice a week. Sounds strange? It'll change your mind. Typical bar fare, but way-above-average quality. The sushi, Ramen, and sticky chicken bowl Asian specials are all must-tries. The Boneless Chicken Wings could be called the bougiest chicken nuggets you've ever had. 😅😍 Perfectly trimmed, breaded, and sauced. Burger menu could be simplified a bit, as a couple of them (Shutout and Mama-Mia) taste good, but just seem a bit much. 🤷🏻‍♂️ One man's opinion. Every egg roll they offer is fantastic. They are handmade with care, and sure taste like it. The special Chicken Tortilla soup will make you believe in God. 🙌🏻 You won't find better bar food within the city's limits! In another breath, I could say nothing negative regarding the staff. Down the earth, clean, informative. During the night, it can be a little slow or packed wall-to-wall. All depends on the night. Karaoke Thurs is a blast. Come and experience Player's...

Great food and drinks. Still wanting to make it in for the walleye dinner on Fridays. The last time I tried to order the walleye, some parade was about to start in town.

Returning later that evening for a "quick six," they serve up awesome Tanqueray and Tonics!!!

The burgers are the best in town!!!

Don't let anyone start up a conversation with you about drugs or your drug use. It appears that the Huron Undercover Narcotics Team (H.U.N.T.) works the local bars trying to make sales/arrests.

They want to ruin your evening for any unsuspecting patron just wanting to have a good time and be left alone. They are very aggressive.

They negatively impact the local economy by desperately making arrests to keep the H.U.N.T. unit fully funded. While heavily competing with the town's small businesses for the limited availability of cash flow in the...

Player's recently changed owners and ever since this is one of my favorite spots to eat. On Saturdays you can get sushi and during the week bento... and it is all delicious. I know very few people who would think sushi from a bar is a good idea, but this is authentic Japanese cuisine and really, really tasty and different. The Veg roll is my personal favorite. I also love the house made chips which don't sound that special but I promise you'll want some to go. If it's not a Pierogie [Tuesday?], Bento, or Sushi day then I get the boneless wings which are consistently good. Such good food...a really good hidden gem...
